Seanad: National Integration Strategy: Motion (1 Apr 2015)

Aideen Hayden: ...these views. We need to work hard to change this. I welcome the comments last week by the Minister for Education and Skills, Deputy Jan O'Sullivan, at a USI conference in Athlone. She addressed the issue of college fees for asylum applicants. Due to the cost of third-level education, these young people are not progressing and are shut out of education. Last year, the Minister of...

Seanad: National Integration Strategy: Motion (1 Apr 2015)

Aideen Hayden: I will take just one minute to conclude. Such students work hard to complete their leaving certificate examinations, yet they face the same third-level fees that wealthy overseas students would be charged for medical courses. If we are to have a fair and equal society we need to change this system as a matter of urgency. I echo Senator Bacik's comment that ethnic status should be awarded...

Seanad: Finance Bill 2014: Report and Final Stages (11 Dec 2014)

Aideen Hayden: ...for by a landlord, tax deductible. There should also be clarity on who exactly, in the landlord-tenant relationship, is liable for the provision of services. Another issue is that of management fees in the case of apartments. If we accept that the local property tax is for the provision of services, there needs to be recognition of the fact that people living in apartment blocks...

Seanad: Order of Business (16 Jul 2014)

Aideen Hayden: .... The spokesperson for UCD stated the university had commissioned an estate agent to provide a report on current private rental markets within easy access of the campus to ensure the licence fees were not out of kilter with those charged in the private rental sector. That is outrageous. What relevance does the wider private rental sector have to the provision of on-campus accommodation?...

Seanad: Public Service Management (Transparency of Boards) Bill 2014: Second Stage (11 Jun 2014)

Aideen Hayden: ...one can argue that being a member of a State board will make one rich or famous, at least not famous in the way that one would like to have fame. As the Minister of State pointed out, the average fees paid to members of State boards are very modest, at €18,788 for a chairman of a board and €10,421 for an ordinary member. I am very concerned at what Senator Quinn is proposing...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Mortgage Arrears Resolution Process (Resumed): Central Bank of Ireland (30 Apr 2014)

Aideen Hayden: .... In the course of my work as a solicitor, I never encountered a case where the resolution of a distressed mortgage was what I would call freely negotiated. In fact, in every single case, the legal fees were paid by the borrower, as were the valuation fees, the purpose of which are to protect the bank's interest. It is outrageous that there is no independent financial or legal advice...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Management and Operation of Housing Associations: Discussion (1 Oct 2013)

Aideen Hayden: ...favour regulation which represents the best way forward for the sector. What arrangements have been made for the sector to come under the remit of the PRTB, or RTB as it is to become? I know the registration fee that will need to be paid was of great concern given the volume of stock within the AHB sector. Would it be appropriate for some of that funding to be allocated towards...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Dún Laoghaire Harbour Company: Discussion with Chairperson Designate (18 Sep 2013)

Aideen Hayden: ...ship sitting on the waters. Is the chairperson designate happy that the Dún Laoghaire area and local businesses are benefiting from the increased number of cruise ships coming into Dún Laoghaire harbour? My own view is that the Stena business in terms of fees earned might have benefited the harbour board but it did not benefit the immediate local community in terms of...

Seanad: Order of Business (7 May 2013)

Aideen Hayden: ...Deputy Bruton to again discuss the matter of upward-only rent reviews. I do not believe the commercial landlords here realise the role that they must play in order to get Irish retailers back on their feet. They need to get real about their rents. It is not appropriate that companies must go through a very expensive examinership process in order to achieve this kind of outcome. I also...

Seanad: Personal Insolvency Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) (30 Nov 2012)

Aideen Hayden: This is a minor matter relating to the charging of fees by the personal insolvency service. I know the Minister has provided for exemptions from the payment of fees or for waiving, remitting or refunding fees in whole or in part in different circumstances, classes of circumstance, cases or classes of case. Sometimes public bodies under pressure which find it difficult to deal with a volume...

Seanad: National Children's Hospital: Statements (13 Nov 2012)

Aideen Hayden: ...would like to make is that there must be adequate parking. The parking charges in some of our hospitals are a disgrace and many parents and others are paying exorbitant amounts of money in parking fees which they cannot afford. Senator Coghlan mentioned that Tallaght hospital took 18 years from initiation to construction even though in 2007 we built 98,000 housing units in this country....

Seanad: Criminal Justice (Spent Convictions) Bill 2012: Second Stage (13 Jun 2012)

Aideen Hayden: ...sentences covered by the Bill encompass the type of sentence one might incur for having molested a child, etc. Why would someone with a criminal record for the non-payment of a television licence fee or some other minor conviction not be eligible for this type of disregard? The Minister stated that responsible and fair employers should pick the best person for the job and only allow a...

Seanad: Finance Bill 2012: Second Stage (21 Mar 2012)

Aideen Hayden: ...the property market which, as we know, drove up prices to almost ten times the average industrial wage. It is well known that well-placed individuals invested sums as low as €10,000 as booking fees on developments and turned over contracts as house prices rose, making returns as high as ten times their investment. These properties were ultimately bought by some of the people worst hit...
